Totally Random Made-Up Term for the Day 4 & 5

fishgiver
n. - A person who gives an easy answer to someone in spite of others' efforts to provide the necessary tools for finding or producing the answer.
fisheater
n. - A person who refuses to use the tools at their disposal to solve a problem and instead relies on the handouts of fishgivers.
These are derived from the proverb: “Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for the rest of his life.”
